Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s $1 Billion Career, an Unpaid $105,000 Private Flight Bill, and a Growing List of Lawsuits
Jet Set Aircraft is suing Mayweather over an allegedly unpaid charter flight to Turks and Caicos — which is just one episode in a series of financial and legal troubles surrounding the boxing legend.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been sued again, and this time the case involves private jet services that he allegedly failed to pay for.
According to AllHipHop, Jet Set Aircraft filed a lawsuit on Friday in Los Angeles County against Mayweather, his jewelry consultant Jona Rechnitz, and several other defendants. The case concerns a September 2025 flight to Turks and Caicos valued at an alleged $105,690 that remains unpaid. The company is seeking full recovery as well as damages.
The lawsuit also notes that Rechnitz was allegedly aware of Mayweather's tendency to receive services or goods without paying.
The Broader Financial Picture
This lawsuit is just one of many legal and financial troubles accumulated by Mayweather during 2026. In March, the Internal Revenue Service recorded a tax lien of $7.3 million against him for the years 2018 and 2023.
In February, he was sued three times over unpaid rent and jewelry debts totaling millions. Among them is a $1.4 million claim from a Miami jeweler who alleges that Mayweather received 26 luxury watches and 15 gold necklaces, but paid only $300,000.
Additionally, he is being sued for $330,000 by the landlord of a luxury New York apartment over unpaid rent accumulated since July 2025, despite having executed a lease agreement in December 2024. Meanwhile, he reportedly sold his private jet, as well as homes in Beverly Hills and Miami, to raise cash.
The Irony
Despite the ongoing disputes, Mayweather was actively posting on Instagram. In one photo, he is sitting inside a private jet surrounded by stacks of money, captioned: “I just be minding my business”.
Mayweather denies rumors regarding his financial difficulties. He filed a $340 million lawsuit against Showtime Networks and a defamation suit against Business Insider. He claims that hundreds of millions of dollars earned throughout his career are being diverted by his former manager, Al Haymon, to third-party accounts. Showtime states that these allegations are baseless.
Mayweather has not yet publicly commented on the private jet case. He is currently planning exhibition fights against Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao in an effort to restore revenue.
